(a) Coverage. This section covers the removal of a career appointee from the SES during the probationary period for unacceptable performance.

(1) State the agency's conclusions as to the inadequacies of the appointee's performance;

(2) State whether the appointee has placement rights under § 359.701 and, if so, identify the position to which the appointee will be assigned; and

(3) Show the effective date of the action.
